Customer Reviews

Simple!
Good quick read!

In essence, this is yet another book to stop procastinating and start doing.

I like the style in which it is narrated, interesting.
There is nothing very new I found that I did not find in other similar books. What I however liked is the tittle and relating some content to the title.

A quick read. Borrow this book if you can. I would not recommend a buy!

Succinct, informative, and highly recommended!
I picked up "Eat that Frog!" on a whim, thinking it would be a fair addition to my motivational book library. I was surprised to find that, although a quick and easy-to-digest read, it contained more information and direction than many other books on the same topic. I found myself taking a few notes and instantly incorporating the practices it outlines into my daily routine, upping my effectiveness and giving me a much needed push! If you're in need of some anti-procrastination direction, "Eat that Frog!" is the first (and maybe only) place to begin!

Useless for real procrastinators
At the start of this book Tracy says that he will not go into the psychological or emotional aspects of procrastination, yet that is exactly what procrastinators need. If you don't know why you do things, how can you change? I know all about goal setting, prioritizing tasks, doing the most difficult task first -- that's not the problem. I know what to do, but still can't get over the mental block. This book says, Just Do It, and you'll feel better, and want to do more! This is useless advice. If I could just do it, I wouldn't need a book.

Unless you're completely in the dark about goal setting and time management, avoid this book.
